MSC Cruises teams up with Cirque du Soleil

The shows will take place inside purpose-built Aft Lounges with 450 seats and a 200-seat eating area where guests can enjoy dinner and drinks before each performance. 

Kitted out in the latest audio-visual technology, the lounges will be specifically designed for the six nights-a-week shows, with two performances a night.

MSC Cruises has four Meraviglia project ships in the pipeline with the first, MSC Meraviglia, currently under construction at the STX shipyard in Saint Nazaire, France. 

The 4,500-passenger ship will spend its inaugural season in the Western Mediterranean from June 2017, and will be the first MSC ship to have three homeports: Genoa, Marseille and Barcelona.
